He came a few days late, but American Idol Season 8 winner Kris Allen and wife Katy welcomed son Oliver Neil Allen on Tuesday. Little Oliver weighed 7 pounds, 7 ounces, and measured 20¾ inches long.

"Happy Day!!!! My little stud was born today. Oliver is here people!" Allen announced on Twitter.

It's the first child for Allen and Katy, high school sweethearts who married in 2008. Allen announced the pregnancy in January, after he and Katy were in a car wreck that broke Allen's wrist. Allen has had three surgeries to repair the damage, which will leave him with permanent limited mobility in his wrist.

"After everything is healed I will be able to play guitar," he posted in a message to his fans on his website. "I will be able to play piano. I will be able to throw a baseball with my kid. I will be able to do the things that I love to do. Just not a proper push-up."
